The victory of Bill Gallon in the " bloto ‘ u Stake, richest trot.- t‘ng purse of the year, in which tbs winner received $20,305, the result of hundreds of nominations in the Futurity, was not exactly s sure thing as Bill Gallon had been beat- en twice previously this season. The fastest .-heat was 2.06 i-2 .

At New Glasgow, N. 5., last Wed- nesday. four races were staged be- for-q o, very appreciative audience of 2,500. the largest gathering to grace s race meet at New Gin-mow in years. The 2.28 Trot and Pace was won in straight heats by 5011M? MacMillarfs Little IPox, who 10W"- ed his record from 2.10 to 2.16 1-2 in the first heat. Joe O'Brlen's im- proved pacer Peter Reamore was 2-2-3 and the tmtter Shirley L. 3-6-4. Juno Peters, s New Glasgow owned more, was 5-4-2.

Boston’s jinx Over Senators Still intact

j

BOSTON, Aug. 8—(APl—Wash- lngton Senators. who haven't won a game this season in Boston, never had a chance today to break that spell as the Red Sox let loose with a six-run barrage in the first inning and coasted to a 15-8 victory,

In chalking up their sixth straight home victory over the senators, the Red scx chased Steve Sondra from the box in the opening inning and then registered another six-run rally in the seventh off rei'efer Ar- nold Anderson. with the help of three Washington errors.

Jimmy Foxx led the 16-hit. Bos- ton assault with four-for-flve. Man- ager Jce Ccrnin , in his only of- ficial tme at bat, blasted his eighth home run of the year.

At St. Louis, the Browns may be able to beat the Yankees but they are meat for Chicago White Sox, who might be in first place in the league instead of fourth if they could play the Brownies every day.

Last night the sox trounced the Browns ll-l and today Bill Deit- rlch towed a neat four-hit perfor- mance to smother them 16-2. It was his fifth v‘ctory of the year against six defeats.
